Tuesday was a fairly normal day. Sunny and hot though. I was told it was supposed to be cold and rainy in Ireland…
Tuesday included potting of basil, weeding, more weeding, and laying down a special tarp to stop weeds from growing. Yes, weeds are a pain in the arse.
After work, Aidan drove us up to the “mountains” in Tipperary. The mountains are actually just really big hills, but this time of year rhododendrons abound all across the hills and their purple flowers cover all around you. There’s barely any people living in this part, but we drove up about an hour where we could see across three Irish counties and could see for a hundred miles away. It was a beautiful sight until it started to downpour just as we got our best views. Nonetheless, Aidan was really nice to drive us up (his idea) and it was an amazing sight to see and I’m really glad I got to see that part of Ireland, the middle, where almost no one lives…just fields and farmland. The entire drive though we saw sheep, goats and cows grazing grass in the pastures—a good sign for all those “grass-fed meat” fans.
